  OT: BD DVD vs. HD-DVD

  Posted by Trevor Ward on May 30, 2006 at 10:46 pm

  What a mouthfull! I’ve got a solution, and if people start adopting it, I want my name in the history books.

  BDVD – Bluray DVD
  HDVD – Highdef DVD
  these have a nice ring to the them, say “B.D.V.D.”

  or

  BVD – Blueray Video Disk
  HVD – Highdef Video Disk
  these have a better spelled out name, “Highdef Video Disk” but not quite as catchy of an abbreviation.

  Most people don’t even know what DVD stands for. I can think of two definitions.

  [Trevor Ward] “BVD – Blueray Video Disk”

  I like your ideas, just hate the format war. Check out this entry from Wikipedia for one of your names. Seems fitting…

  Yeah, I know about BVD’s – the underwear. I think it’s funny.

  [Trevor Ward] “I can think of two definitions.”

  Disgusting Video Disc?

  Damning Vortex Destroyer?

  Don’t Vorget Deinterlace?

  Digital Violin Detector?

  I could go on, but I’ll stop.
